re: Lawnmower cutting preference: bag grass or let it fly

We are all on one acre lots. We let it fly. The neighbor was bagging it and it it took him about 8 hours to mow. He was push mowing it also. Crazy old bastard.
I’d like to bag and mulch but I’m not trying to make a hobby out of mowing.

Depends on the deck and mower and size of lawn. A high quality deck like the John Deere 7 Iron deck or the Scag Velocity deck and just let it fly. Those decks produce the best quality cut around and throw wet or dry clippings like none others around.

I bag every third cut. Lawn doing great and less weeds.

Bag it. I have a bag attachment so no excuse not to.

Same here. I mean, how long does it take to empty the bag into a black garbage bag? What, 5-8 extra minutes added to the total mow time? Lazy bastards

I use a yard sweeper.

I cut 2+ acres. No time to bag all that shite.

Let it fly on the neighbors yard and on the street like an a-hole.

I mulch because the cut grass supposedly provides nutrients to to help the rest of the grass grow. I also cut it more often but at a taller height.

Basically eliminated all of my weeds this year.

1\4 acre lot in an old Baton Rouge neighborhood so i bag if a had 1/2 acre or bigger I'd mulch

Bag it. Don't want thatch bid up.
